Doesn't make sense to me. You could buy an iPhone for a little over $250 if the carriers wanted. Consider this: An iPod touch is an iPhone without the phone.

Doesn't make sense to me. You could buy an iPhone for a little over $250 if the carriers wanted. Consider this: An iPod touch is an iPhone without the phone. That costs $230. You can walk into any carrier and buy a cellphone without contract for less then $20. So iPod touch + cell phone = iPhone. Should cost between $250-300. The unsubsidized prize of $600 bucks is just baloney. Maybe the real story is that Apple is going to insist that the carriers cell the iPhone without a contract?
